Rating for this plant:
This Sedum loves the heat and lots of sun. Don't overwater, it tends to get a "bowled" shape if too wet. Can be cut back in early summer for a more compact plant.

Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is a good plant for foliage contrast in the garden. It has a sturdy rounded form that is eye catching.

I love this plant because you can break off a stem and stick it in the ground anywhere, water it, and it will root!

Makes a great potted plant for patio or deck. Now comes in dark and varigated leaf forms. The leaf color variations come from sports and must be monitored and solid green sports removed to keep from reverting to solid green.

I have really enjoyed the variegated form. The dark purple green form tended to be lanky despite heavy pinching.
